When your body metabolizes aspargusic acid it breaks down into sulfur. When you pee, they evaporate into the air quickly due to being an unstable compound.

There are many cytochrome p-450 variants in the population that metabolize compounds at different rates or even different metabolites.

There are a couple genetic factors. One factor makes your pee smell really good, the second lets you smell it. So, some people can make their pee smell good, but can't smell it. Others can't make their pee smell good, but can smell others pee

I've never heard of it making pee smell bad though.
